and part of that is that adults absolutely do buy stupid status symbols to flex on each other.

Exactly. And when they do, we don't say "Well, that's just what humanity does".

We say "Despise these covetous pricks".

    I don't really see what that would help. I'd be angry all the time, and I'd seem like a judgemental prick to a lot of other people.

    If I had an opportunity to cure people of wanting to do this, I would. When I have an opportunity to tactfully point it out, and that it's irrational, I do. Otherwise, everyone I've ever met is part of one problem or another.
